Mini-me's Art

 The work of MINI-ME!!

Our house & 3 kitties

A barn that was in her head

A drawing in her "sketch" book, from Bama, of 'The Cat in the Hat'
So today I bring you the work of a 6 year old. I found these to be AMAZING, so I thought I would share with you all. I may just be bias to her work, but I think we have a future Georgia O'Keeffe here!

Kent Theater Performance

The students were asked to perform for the Kent Theater for the Historical Days in CS.

I think they did great! Another 3 months and they will have it perfected! I can't wait.
I messed up while filming this with my iPad. And I had to quickly find the video record and start again, hence the 2 parts. I was pretty annoyed.
Part 1 Minime is in the middle and then she moves to front left which is where she will be in Part 2.

Flannel Rag Quilt

The half way point of making one of these flannel rag quilts. I wasn't sure how it would go as I have no patience or sewing skill.

















The sewing went OK, other than running out of thread and having to do the whole bobbin deal a few times. Urgh!
















In the blog I read the directions they were specific as to; take the quilt to a laundromat(funny word). I have one in my village, but I was NOT going to go there, I was more than happy to risk the mess of plugging my machine before I would step a foot in there! It went fine. Drying is where I noticed the most mess. I just repeatedly cleaned the lint trap while drying the blanket. No worries!

Tutu cute bag!

The other day I found a plain black bag in my stash of dollar tree items. From there my brain got a move and I remembered something!!!

I was at a craft show a year or so ago and had seen these cute tutu looking bags.  Didn't seem like it would be toooooo terribly hard to do. (Even if you have no idea what you are doing - like me!) I figured I would go ahead and give it a try. So here is my first attempt. I need to adjust a few things if I make another. Mini me saw the bag and loved it, so I did something right! I think it took me less than 30 minutes to complete. 


This is not the best photo....you really can't tell that it is a bag at all. I will have to get a picture of Mini-me carrying it, then perhaps it will look like a bag!
